The Sussex Empire: Are the Sussexes on Tap to Become the First Royal Self-Made Billionaires?

  PRINCE HARRY AND PRINCESS MEGHAN HAVE A VERY VALUABLE BRAND AND THEY COULD BECOME THE FIRST SELF-MADE BILLIONAIRES IN THE HOUSE OF WINDSOR The value of the Harry and Meghan's Brand is trending upward despite the best-laid plans of their critics and enemies. The couple are fighters, first of all, and they are fighting tooth and nail to own their own narrative and defend the reputation of their brand. Some believe that they are nothing without their royal titles attached to their names but they are a valuable brand with or without royal titles. Their foundation, Archewell, for example, has nothing at all that is "royal" about it. There is no doubt that Harry and Meghan have many admirers who believe in their brand and for this reason, the couple are poised to create many income-producing products and services that will catapult them to the financial apex known as the Forbes List of Billionaires before long. It is not that the British royal family is not already obscenely

Meghan: The "Influencer" Princess

  Meghan Duchess of Sussex is an Influencer Princess. So what? Princess Meghan is an influencer and she has never denied it, or tried to shy away from it. One could say that Meghan was born an influencer. We saw how at 11 years old, she set out to "influence" the way that the media and advertisers viewed women and moms. She has never stopped exerting her influence since those early days.  Through her work with the UN, as well as her blog The Tig, and with her endorsement deals and her work as an actor, she has continued this trend of being an influencer. She leads by example, one could say. Now that she and Harry have married and have created their foundation Archewell, her opportunities for being an influencer have stratospherically multiplied. Some people see that as a negative. One YouTuber claimed that Duchess Meghan is "bringing down the Monarchy" by lowering herself to influencer status and reverting to her pre-Duchess days. But is that a fair criticism? Who,

Meghan Markle's Mother Doria Ragland

 Meghan Markle's Mother Doria Ragland is a very mysterious woman. She is mysterious because she keeps her tongue between her teeth. She says very little. So people do not know who she is and what she is made of. This is a very good thing for Duchess Meghan. The last thing she needs is a mother who is set on hanging her out to dry. Unfortunately, some mothers in Doria's place would have sold out the Duchess long ago. Because you can be sure that Doria has been offered a ton of money for interviews and scoops about her child by more than one media outlet. But to her credit, she has yet to cave in. Ditto for the Duchess' ex husband Trevor, by the way. Although, he is rumored to be working on a sensationalized version of their life together in a tabloid-friendly book, so if that is so, one can only hope to God that Doria Ragland never follows suit. The Duchess and her mom seem to have an excellent relationship. Was their relationship always smooth without problems and issues? W

So How Come Kate Middleton and Kensington Palace Never Denied Meghan's Revelations that the Princess of Wales Made Her Cry Just Before Her 2018 Wedding to Prince Harry?

IT IS VERY CURIOUS THAT KENSINGTON PALACE NEVER DENIED THAT KATE MADE MEGHAN CRY, ISN'T IT?  This morning I was watching one of the usual suspects talking about Meghan and the speaker said Meghan allegedly invited Kate Middleton to her podcast, Archetypes, but that the Princess of Wales turned down the Duchess of Sussex. And they had a good laugh, as if Kate is so superior to Meghan and has been so much more accomplished than Meghan, that the notion of being on Meghan's podcast is hilarious.  Even assuming the Duchess of Sussex did invite her sister-in-law to her podcast in the first place and this is not just a silly rumor, I frankly think that Kate should be flattered. She, Kate, is not better than Meghan. She has not achieved anything better than Meghan except she married a man who will inherit the British throne, not by merit, but by nepotism. And I say this will all due deference to their titles and positions, but don't get ahead of yourselves thinking Kate would be do

Meghan Duchess of Sussex Always Hits Her Targets

#meghanshusband Did the Duchess of Sussex "Target" Prince Harry?   Meghan the Duchess of Sussex is a winner. She usually gets what she wants. Some people condemn her for this. They say she is "pushy" and they say she "targets" men and they say she is a narcissist who only thinks of herself.  These are not surprising adjectives for a woman like Meghan Duchess of Sussex. She appears to have a strategy for her life, she sets targets and goals, and she goes after her targets with gusto. She probably would be a little bit less successful if she did not set targets and goals, and this might make her more likable and less threatening to her critics. But why would she underperform on purpose to make her enemies happy? One media Youtuber who shall remain nameless had the biggest hissy fit the other day because she claims that Meghan "targeted" Harry and then got him to marry her. This person seems to know very little about men. A woman cannot get a man to

First Kick Her Out of the Palace, Then Out of England, Then Take Her Titles, Then Take Harry - in That Order.

 This attack on Meghan has been orchestrated and planned by powerful people and will not stop till Harry divorces her Do Harry and Meghan Need the Headaches of Royal Titles? (meghanandharryadvisors.blogspot.com) It just came to me in an epiphany. Meghan should not voluntarily give up her titles because she would be falling right into the trap laid for her by her enemies. This is all a planned initiative to undo the marriage between Meghan and Harry and get Meghan out of the royal family. She was never accepted. Not in a true, genuine, and deep way. There was a superficial appearance of acceptance but the speed with which that became unglued speaks volumes.  They barely gave her one chance, never mind the thousands of chances you give to someone you love.  The first thing they did was get her out of Kensington Palace. They spread rumors about her to the press and they harassed her, and they made her feel unwelcome and drove her to the edge of suicide. So she ran for her life, and she an

The "Heir and the Spare" is a Toxic Sibling Dynamic. How Sick and Oblivious Can Parents Be?

 Parents Need to do a Better Job of Protecting Kids From Toxic Sibling Dynamics That the British royal family still practices this "heir and spare" religion is beyond the pale. How can people in this day and age encourage this kind of toxic relationship between their children and then turn around and get upset when the children are not happy?  How oblivious do you have to be to see that this dynamic is toxic and not in the best interest of your children? How dysfunctional do you have to be? Sure the public loves it because the whole thing is theatre to them. It is not their life. What the hell do they care how the spare feels? The "Spare" is not even a person to them. He or she is an idea, and object of their gaping and ridicule and amusement. What the hell do they care? But you would expect parents to care and you would expect in 2022 that they would put a stop to this nonsense. The whole entire premise upon which the monarchy is based is archaic and toxic and not

Dear Meghan and Harry: At the End of a Storm is a Golden Sky...

  Dear Meghan and Harry, I know you have been in a storm for years now. Did you anticipate it? Nothing like a bad storm that takes you by surprise to warp you for life. But if you anticipate it, you can plan for it, and you can get through it, almost unscathed, and then, there will be this big, beautiful, golden sky with a rainbow attached waiting for you.  The key is to survive the storm. Not everyone does. What can you do to make sure you survive? Well, respect that storm for what it is, find something to hang on to, and hold fast. Sincerely, Your friend from 10,000 miles away. image credit flickr creative commons SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL!

Do Harry and Meghan Need the Headaches of Royal Titles?

 Harry and Meghan have been absolutely besieged about the titles they were gifted by the late Queen Elizabeth. The media has been absolutely relentless. My big thing is that they don't need those titles to succeed and thrive. They can still live rewarding, fulfilled, and happy lives and raise well-adjusted children without being called "Duke and Duchess".  On the one hand, I am loathed to advise giving in to these people. I want to say hold on to the titles just to make them nuts. And maybe this is the right move because backing down all the time just makes you a victim. But on the other hand, the titles are nothing. It's all semantics, optics, and puffery. It blows like the wind and can change at any minute.  The thing is, millions of people in the world do not have titles, and they are perfectly fine. Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates and Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez don't have "titles."  So what? Titles make them superior? Is that it? It just seems such

Duchess Meghan Talks About the "Good Wife" and the "Good Mom" Stereotypes

  What is a good wife? What is a good mom? A lot of married women and mothers feel a lot of guilt and angst about their roles as wives and mothers. The Duchess of Sussex is no different. On her podcast Archetypes, she discusses the challenges many women face in these roles, and to some extent, her own personal challenges. And she shared a little bit about a typical day in her life , which was really cool. She describes it as a whirlwind, and it sounded a little bit more frantic than I had imagined when I wrote the post linked above. Because I never even took into account her four dogs! In the podcast, the Duchess discusses how helpful her husband the Duke of Sussex is, in helping her with the morning frenzy and taking care of the kids. The way she says "my husband" is so adorable. You can tell how much she loves and respects this man. Some women have criticized her for always referring to her mate in this way, as "my husband." I think it is very beautiful. Harry als
